Hi-Health Celebrates 40th Anniversary as Arizona's Largest Health Food and Nutritional Supplement Retailer
From the back of a market to 46 stores, a website, a national storefront on Amazon.com and continued growth, Hi-Health is on track for the future

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, February 01, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Hi-Health is celebrating its 40th anniversary as Arizona's largest retailer of high quality health foods and nutritional supplements. The company credits its remarkable growth, success and performance to its dedicated management, talented employees, loyal clients and strong market demand for health foods and nutritional supplements.

"Our 40th anniversary is a milestone that reflects the outstanding talents of our knowledgeable team, unwavering commitment to improving customers' health through better nutrition, offering the highest quality products, providing unbiased information at all times, and being the first-to-market with new, innovative products," said Jay Chopra, Hi-Health's Chief Operating Officer. "As a result, we have grown from a single location with a few employees into a fast growing corporation with 46 stores and 300 employees in Arizona, a thriving and growing e-commerce website (www.hihealth.com) and online store at Amazon.com that gives us access to 137 million potential customers worldwide."

Hi-Health was founded in January 1972 by Sy Chalpin with the first store opening in Sun City. To accommodate rapid employee and double-digit sales growth, in 1990, the company relocated its corporate headquarters to a 30,000 square-foot distribution center in Scottsdale Airpark.
Skyrocketing sales led Hi-Health to launch a number of notable initiatives and milestones between 1993 and 2011 that are fueling the company's continued growth. These include:

•Implementing automatic inventory replenishment for stores
•Signing Paul Harvey, the legendary news commentator and talk-radio pioneer, as a national product endorser from 1997 until his death in 2009
•Launching the www.hihealth.com website, which today ranks first on Google search results for supplement stores
•Expanding into frozen food products in 2002 in response to demand for low-carb offerings
•Opening online Hi-Health store on Amazon.com in 2011
•Going green by using eco-friendly products at its stores and corporate headquarters

"With an aging population and customer demand for high quality nutritional products, we are well positioned to take the company to the next level of record-setting growth with new product offerings and the opening of additional stores," Chopra said. "Much has changed since the company started 40 years ago, but everything we do at Hi-Health is still driven by Sy Chalpin's original vision and philosophy: to help people manage their health and wellness, be an industry innovator, and give back to the community. As we embark on another 40 years, this will set us apart from our competitors."
